The board of directors has established an audit committee, which operates pursuant to a separate charter to be adopted by our board of directors. The composition and functioning of the committee will comply with all applicable requirements of the French commercial code, the Exchange Act, the exchange on which our ADSs, as are listed, and SEC rules and regulations. In accordance with French law, the committee of our board of directors will only have an advisory role and can only make recommendations to our board of directors. As a result, decisions will be made by our board of directors taking into account nonbinding recommendations of the committee, including the audit committee.
